The chemical digestion of food is dependent on a whole range of hydrolase enzymes produced mostly by the cells lining the gut as

well as other associated organs such as the pancreas, salivary glands, stomach, liver and small intestine. The end goal is to break large food molecules into very much smaller building block units or monomers. These can then be readily absorbed through the into the bloodstream for transport to the liver and from there to other parts of the body.
Enzymes are both pH and temperature specific. Seen here are the reaction rates of three common digestive enzymes. Based on the data, which enzyme(s) require(s) the addition of HCl for optimum activity?

Answer:

Enzymes responsible for digestion of proteins.

Explanation:

Digestion may be defined as the process of break down of large food particles into the simpler substance. The digestive enzymes and digestive juices are required for digestion process.

Humans stomach has highly acidic pH. The highly acidic environment is important for the conversion of zymogens into the active enzyme. Pepsin is important that is activated by the acidic environment from the pepsinogen. Pepsin helps in the digestion of proteins.

The enzyme that is present within the stomach and the lining of the muscular gland, would function optimally in high H+ concentration and would require much HCl needed for an appropriate pH environment to function

This would be pepsin, I believe.

Explain complex enzyme ​
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

All enzymes are mostly protein, but many are only protein. These enzymes are known as simple enzymes. Enzymes that contain other things, “complex enzymes,” are called holoenzymes. A holoenzyme has two parts. The protein part is called the apoenzyme.

The enzyme substrate complex is a temporary molecule formed when an enzyme comes into perfect contact with its substrate. ... The substrate causes a conformational change, or shape change, when the substrate enters the active site. The active site is the area of the enzyme capable of forming weak bonds with the substrate.

Enzymes are protein molecules in cells which work as biological catalysts. Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in the body, but do not get used up in the process, therefore can be used over and over again. Almost all biochemical reactions in living things need enzymes. ... The study of enzymes is called enzymology.
